Handmade jewellery

A few years ago, PKay experimented with using the tiny brushes to create a landscape on glass. Using the best-quality fused and polished glass, she paints backwards—meaning, instead of traditionally layering up, she layers down. Starting on the back of the glass, whatever needs to be highlighted or on top must be drawn and done first. Then colours are layered back to create moods and nuances. When all is done the backs are sealed off, turned over, and either placed in fittings (rings or earrings) or left “naked” (pendants). The glass gives a clarity and depth to the wearable art.

Emma Peers creates her own unique handmade jewellery range using polymer clay.Creating delicious miniature charmslike ice creams and cupcakes, she also moulds characters and animals for pendants and bookmarks, all of which are handmade right here in Queenstown.

One of the pleasures of any trip to New Zealand is a step into the extraordinary. Here, where the wilderness is still wild, the coastline rocky and rugged, and the great outdoors still great, the locals have their own sense of splendor, and this can be seen in the artfully crafted curios on display at Queenstown’s Arts and Crafts Market.
